While many gurus glorify the strategies they’re selling through courses or books, methods like BRRRR aren’t easy and can put you in a tough financial spot if you’re not careful.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

You've got a book's worth already :-) I admire your perseverance!

There are lots of books on the topic but there's not substitute for taking action and learning from your mistakes.

I am working on final details for our first flip and have been trying to find a good template for subcontractors we have hired and cannot find anything on bigger pockets or google.
